    I'm Late on the Christmas movies but my very Favorite is a Hallmark movie "One Christmas Eve". It strikes all the emotions but mostly the humor one :) This is well worth a watch. Hope you have a wonderful Holiday. I'm 72 and still enjoy the season, more the feelings and memories now. I have had many, many wonderful Holiday seasons. My husband passed unexpectedly on Thanksgiving Day 20 years ago but still have manage to enjoy the season. Oh I'm in coastal North Carolina USA. I've been with you many years and refer to you to my family as my freind in England.

    Agree about evening meals…..brain dead at the moment! Thankfully my husband and I take it in turns to cook but I still flounder this time of year when everything is concentrated on food and more food..tv, magazines, papers, radio. Puts me right off eating!!

    My favourite Christmas film is “Scrooge” from 1951 starring Alastair Sim. He’s wonderful in it and makes me laugh and cry.

    Hi Mrs M, just wanted to tell you, watched the Christmas Candle yesterday on Amazon. It was a lovely film, I watched it as some of it was made in the Isle of Man where my sons have moved to. Susan Boyle’s singing was beautiful.

    You made me giggle at Die Hard. We binge watch all the Indiana Jones movies on New Years Eve. But my all time favorite Christmas movie is A Christmas Carol, all versions old & new.

    Your accounting sounds like ironing from my youth. I dreaded it each week and was so pleased when it was done. I've learned to love stay press clothing.

    Caroline, As a child, quite poor, the only time we had an orange was in our stocking at Christmas. Dad would peel it for us then throw that peel in the fire. Like your candle winner this smell brings back all the good memories of childhood. Merry Christmas one and all.🎄

    One Christmas movie not mentioned is The Family Stone, such a fun family mix, makes me laugh and shed a tear. Rupert Everett, Claire Danes, Diane Keaton Rachel MaCadams.
    Happy Christmas to you and your family 🎉

    Love The Bishop’s Wife (1948) is brilliant. Cary Grant, David Niven & Loretta Young and watch it every Christmas. It’s on Prime now😊. Whatever you do, don’t watch Silent Night!! It’s a British film set at Christmas but very dark and definitely wouldn’t get anyone in the Christmas mood ☹️.

    • @carolynhamilton3316
      @carolynhamilton3316 ปีที่แล้ว

      "Would you like some yuletide cheer"? From the Bishops Wife. My one daughter and I picked up that phrase every Christmas.

    Caroline! I can't believe you've never watched 'It's a Wonderful Life'. Keep your tissues nearby. It's a must watch. Wishing you Ashley and Will a very Happy Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year! X

    In the USA there are performances on a train following the Polar Express story,, my daughter is a lead performer as the narrator of the story on one of the train cars,, here I think there are 9 cars attached. It is a very popular Christmas activity locally

    Thank you for this vlog and well done getting your accounts done! 👏👏👏 Love Actually is definitely one of my favourites. That scene where Emma Thompson realises Alan Rickman has been playing away, goes into the bedroom for a little cry but then she has to carry on and hold it all in. Heartbreaking! 😢 But anything with Colin Firth in it gets my vote to be honest! ❤

    • @carolynhamilton3316
      @carolynhamilton3316 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree. As much as I loved Alan Rickman, I was so made at him! The Joni Mitchell playing in the background while she cried, broke my heart.

  • @marysheehan6982

    Meet me in Saint Louis is my favourite. Not entirely a Christmas film ( it covers a year) but Judy Garland singing Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas is heartbreakingly sad.

    Thanks for this lovely vlog especially your Christmas films list and reviews. I haven’t ever seen Die Hard but keep meaning to watch it. I do like Serendipity as it’s a feel good one even if far fetched. Never heard of from time to time. Like Maggie Smith so even though it’s not a Christmas film I’ll give that a watch.

    Thanks Caroline. My favourites are Elf and Miracle on 34th Street. I dont actually think I've seen Love Actually or don't remember it so on the list along with The Holiday which I love.
    Will try Serendipity and The Bishops Wife as well from the comments. Thanks everyone. Oh and Deck the Halls... hilarious 😂 xx

    I would like to add Muppets Christmas Carol and The Ref/Hostile Hostages - a Kevin Spacey film released under both of these titles - a favourite of mine, rarely seen or heard of but very enjoyable. I would recommend you give it a try if you get time.

  • @fionafrazer8820
    @fionafrazer8820 ปีที่แล้ว

    Have never seen It's a Wonderful Life (does that make me a bad person?) nor Elf, nor Miracle on 34th St., but Love Actually and The Holiday are my favorites. Not usually a fan of rom coms but these two do it for me! We have the Richard Curtis extras version of Love Actually, which explains how he picked the music, and shows all the scenes he cut - fabulous.My son never cared for any of the cartoon Christmas movies (Grinch etc.) but a Christmas Eve staple when he was a kid was "Scrooge" - the musical version with Albert Finney. I don't know many people who are familiar with it, but to me, it's the best!

    Caroline not that you will like it or it will get on your Christmas list, but I came across a film called Noelle written, directed and acted by a guy called David Wall (he looks like Robert Redford) it’s unusual to say the least, but very different ! In parts it had a natural style
